Brake Caliper Colour

[The_Hawk]

At the moment I have 3 blue and one unpainted caliper, so either way I would like to neaten them up.

The blue is pretty faded and ordinary, but what colour should I go. Here are some mock ups:

Orignal Blue -


Yellow (Although I would go with more of a primary yellow rather than this goldish looking mock up) -


Red -


Green -


Definately looking at more of a primary 'in your face' colour than a subtle job.

Also considering darkening up the rims a little:

i'm in favour of the red because red goes faster.

red with those dark rims would definitely look menacing.

There is your answer. A little bit of lowereing would finish it off nicely too.

We have a proficient Photoshop-er If you want to paint the calipers, I'd say go red or leave them. I've got some pics of Burberry-pattern calipers if you're curious - yes I'm talking about that tartan/plaid pattern!

Burberry-pattern... someone just had waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too much time on their hands.

I vote Red with the darkened rims!

I think red and the darker rims suit your car. Though personally i like the blue/silver HPA Motorsport theme
